Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

    If in this wide world, teeming with abundant supplies for human want, to thousands of wretched creatures no choice is open, save between starvation and sin, may we not justly say that there is something utterly wrong in the system that permits such things to be?
    Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)

    O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The most violent appetites in all creatures are lust and hunger; the first is a perpetual call upon them to propagate their kind, the latter to preserve themselves.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
